NYC Frontier Hackathon: Build your Autonomous Code Factory

In this intensive hackathon led by the research team at Obvious you will build your autonomous software factory. TLDR: you'll be able to start assigning your agents features to build instead of prompts.

Note: This event is entirely free, including unlimited tokens for the hackathon. Building and tokens will be using an obvious.ai workspace.

We will be awarding over $30K in token prizes to the teams that can build the most in a day!

1st place receives $20,000 worth of Obvious Fusion credits

2nd place receives $10,000 worth of Obvious Fusion credits

3rd place receives $5,000 worth of Obvious Fusion credits

Come alone or come as a team. If you want to valuemaxx this event (and set yourself up to win big) the ideal group to bring is:

a technical founder or engineering leader

a product manager (if you have one)

1+ engineers (the more ai-pilled the better)

What to bring

Your laptop

Access to a real Github repo you care about [or] a clear vision for a greenfield project

A bug backlog or a list of small improvements

We'll set up your Obvious workspace and go through onboarding in-person. Meals and drinks are provided.

What you’ll be learning:

How to...

design the complete hands-off build loop

manage a multi-pr autonomous agent swarm

prepare more ambitious builds (entire features or even products)

manage QA, code review, and human feedback without slowing down the work

decide where to spend time vs go hands off

rethink both devops and organizational roles in a world of autonomy

scale autonomous software delivery safely

think about roadmap and software design when you can build anything practical in a day

About Obvious:

Obvious is an applied AI research lab with a focus on autonomous product development. We spend our days closing the gap between what's possible and what's doable, treating our own company as the experiment for what it means to operate at agent scale. We've reinvented our product, reshaped our team, accelerated revenue, and 10x'd our shipping velocity in less than a year. At peak velocity we've shipped 1000 PRs in one day with 10 engineers.

Frontier is where we do our best to hand that system to other teams. We're excited to work with you!
